Curtis Granderson's Punchout Cancer with Cookie

In honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month and my friend Cookie Carrasco’s brave fight with Leukemia, I remain dedicated to supporting and uplifting the communities that have impacted me over the years. I’m honored to team up with New Balance and the Punchout Cancer with Cookie campaign to help raise funds and awareness to support cancer fighters just like Cookie. I’m personally pledging $100 for every Marlins run scored during our home games at Marlins Park in September to help fund childhood cancer research, and I’m inviting you to take the pledge with me.

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and all that have been touched by cancer, New Balance and players across professional baseball are dedicated to action and raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Together, we will hit, pitch and steal our way to a cure. We dedicate this campaign to Cookie Carrasco and his courageous and inspirational fight with Leukemia. In September 2019, New Balance will match its athletes’ donations, and any consumer donations made on PunchoutCancerWithCookie.com, to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, up to $200,000.

You can follow our performance & progress all month long by visiting the program homepage.

Thank you for your support!
